How are you? Hope all is well. I'm just beginning to catch up. SPent a little time at UofC over the holidays and just getting back up to snuff. Prayer is so powerful. We are witnesses to answered prayers daily, in our lives and in our world. Thank you Lord! As much as I try not to sit in judgment, I sometimes think the Lord allows me to see some things others do not. I felt from the beginning there was something divine about President Obama. A calm, peacefulness if you will, that only a firm faith in God could provide. Gifted by God and willing to give HIM all the credit. I love it. My love to you and the family in this great new year and Ain't God great, we're still here!

BANKS' RESPONSE: Thank you Jesus for both of all the rest of us, too,

Qwen, that God had spared us still and I pray that next year this time we will be

thanking Him again for not just sustaining us but for healing us much more, if not

totally. The presence of Obama, I believe, will be an improvement for us all and

that's good for him because we are the kind of people who will be most faithful in

helping him heal America and all our global environment. We pray that he will not

fall prey as so many others have to $iren $ongs of special interest lobbyists who

have already sold out America's best interests and turned Capitol Hill, as Jesus

said of the money-changers he whipped out of the temple, into a "den of thieves."

The true God did not give you Obama. Maybe your god did -- but the Father of the Risen Lord does not advocate abortion, homosexuality, deceit and hypocracy. Until you realize the error of your thinking and begin to worship the One True God, you are deceiving yourself and worshipping a false God. Let him who has ears and a conscience hear and consider themselves truly warned. May God have mercy on us all.

BANKS' RESPONSE: Scott, thank God that you have a right to believe as you

believe and I hope that you respect and appreciate the fact that 90-something

percent of the people may believe otherwise. No, I won't argue with you or say

anything that may hinder you from seeking the truth.
